Natures beauty in at number 11 :)

Hi every one :0 .... I can hear lots of *oh no not another one finished ..lol but hey what is a mouse meant to do when the skies open and the rain pours down on the mouse house ?????I had planned on taking a hobble down to the canal and see if I could take some pictures of the baby ducklings but in the words of the tennis season "rain stopped play " heheheh so I busied myself with my needle and fortified with the odd cup of tea or two sat and stitched the afternoon away :)I really enjoyed stitching this one and it has a lovely old sampler feel to it .. the only small wee moan is the purple flowers .... if you were going to buy all the threads for this one .. see if you have got something in your stash .... they only used one length(36") of thread ..folded to do loop start ... for each colour for both sides .... luckily for me I can use them on the lavender hill chart :)

Oh I love this one too - and Lavender Hill?? Why does that oen ring bells with me? Cuddles to Pip n Damian from their daft auntie and you can safely pick up The Needlework Shop again cos I am nearly finished yaaay!! Hugs, Ally xx

I love the colors you picked for Mary. I am doing mine in shades of a grey/green - haven't worked on it in a while though. Perhaps had I chosen a wider variety of colors, I would pull it out more often!

I can't believe how quick your flying through your finishes. Well done on another one, would you believe the postie just brought this one to me this morning, and now I really really want to start it but must wait.Oh can you come do some of my finishes your so quick lol

Oh....what a lovely pattern, and stitching too, of course! Had to read about Pip and Damion, so cute the two of them! Can't wait to see your progress on Mary Wingham...I should pull mine out and see about starting it! Sorry I didn't comment on your last post, it's been a bit busy here! *Hugs*

Yoo hoo, I have the idea of having it in the centre of a cushion and been through loads of old mags to get ideas - Ive never made anything like that before so fingers crossed just on the look out for some nice fabrics xx

Congrats on the finish Mouse. I'm having an even worse, um, problem (???) with one of my projects. It calls for a color of Gentle Arts Sampler Thread. I bought the skein. There are eleven stitches of that color. ELEVEN!!!! I was so ticked by that. If I had realized, I would have used another color that I had instead of spending a buck ninety on it! I'm glad you have something else to use your thread on! Pretty colors in MW too. I'll be watching for your start on that! And Pip is very handsome too. Hope you're really having a great summer!
